By the way this arm can lift a lot . So to keep the 2x ball in place at the end of a match might be a little problem if you leave it .
ahh.. two wires. that explains it. pull a wheelie in both directions?? i don't get it.
and are you saying even if we cap the tall goal you might be able to pull it out? is that legal?
